Goat Ramblings Goes Interactive!
This kind of nonsense has been found on message boards which I've frequented before, and it's just really a gauge to see exactly how much of a geek I am. Nerd, dork, whatever. I know a little bit about rpg's, computer gaming, console gaming, and random other stuff that guys with a gut and pimples on their face manage to know even well into adulthood.
So I urge you! Feel free to message me via myspace or hit my inbox here with your answers. Some of you, God bless, will find this test to be quite a breeze. I thought to divide it up into sections, but I figured it'd be a little more of a challenge if you got a toss-up from question to question. Without further ado...

So there 50 possible points for phase 1. I'll tell you how you did!
